Can you guess this old game from just one screenshot?
I’ll update this post with the answer at 5pm today if no one has guessed before then. Or if you do guess it before then, feel free to share your memories of a classic game.
Good luck!
UPDATE: A couple of characters from the game look awfully familiar…

Anyone else notice the main character’s resemblance to Dennis Quaid?
